Working with Nicole was an absolute pleasure. She was not pushy and VERY supportive. Her suggestions were helpful and she was always willing to go the extra mile. I am glad that I stuck it out with her. We found a really nice home at a great price!

If you are considering engaging Donna Nikic, look no further. I needed to hire an agent in New York to manage the sale of my parents’ home and investment properties. My family recently completed a very challenging transaction with Donna for their long-time home in Croton. The house had been neglected as my parents aged and it needed extensive TLC and complete staging. Donna provided an excellent analysis of the different approaches to ready the house for market keeping an eye on the bottom line. No one wants to spend big money to prepare a home for sale, and Donna understood that perfectly. Donna took charge of everything, handling dozens of maintenance tasks. She staged the 4,400 sq. ft. home from top to bottom as part of her commission. She worked tirelessly to prepare the offering in record time. Her experience and contacts in residential construction were invaluable. An added challenge was working with my 85+ year old parents who were moving out of state. Donna treated my parents like they were her own, demonstrating a level of patience that is hard to articulate—it came from her inner core. We interviewed a few other real estate agents before making a decision and Donna stood out. She had her eye on a target number that was $500,000 higher than her competitors vying for the listing. She knows the Westchester County market and secures top dollar for your home. The right offer was accepted within two weeks. As a result, we hired her for additional properties that anyone would typically pass off to a junior partner. These properties were dirty, neglected, and occupied by long-term tenants who had no intention of moving. Donna rolled up her sleeves and jumped into the challenge. The two properties went above asking with cash offers secured in a weekend. Her experience in coordinating permit issues with local governments, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and other service providers is rarely found. I can’t imagine better outcomes.

Working with Donna was a great experience - the house was well priced and received immediate offers. Donna took care of almost everything I needed, was highly responsive, knowledgeable and provided great advice on what we needed to do (and not do) to get the best price quickly. I highly recommend Donna for your real estate needs.

We can't say enough good things about Nicole! She was fantastic through every step of the process. We were looking to buy our first house and the process is definitely intimidating!

She is VERY knowledgeable and clearly loves her work. We found an amazing first house with her help! We would highly recommend working with Nicole.

Nicole walked into my life at the perfect time. As a first-time seller, I was unsure of the process and emotionally attached to the only home my kids had known. From day one, Nicole brought her “A” game, and I could see why she was ranked #51 on North America's Top 100 Real Estate Agents on Instagram. It wasn’t only her credentials that set a high bar; it was her overall authentic vibe. This was a big life transition for us, and I needed to align with someone who would honor the opportunity. After our initial meeting, I had no doubt that she was the right realtor for me. I had full trust in her listing recommendations, and her extensive knowledge of the industry provided the reassurance I needed to confidently list the house at the top of the Spring market. The overall process with Nicole was a collaboration beyond what I expected. Communications with her were seamless, and she guided me through every step of the selling process with patience and expertise, making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. We received five bids on the house after the first open house. We offered "Highest and Best," and the final bid was $166K over asking. Nicole also gained my daughter as a fan—she gives Nicole a 10++! I couldn't have asked for a better realtor. I highly recommend Nicole Biello to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to ensure their success.

Donna’s expertise, professionalism, and responsiveness to her clients is truly impressive! As first time home buyers we felt fully supported each step of the way. Donna was patient, friendly, and understanding, answering all of our questions. We were amazed by her dedication and wealth of knowledge. Donna was very accommodating with our schedule. She arranged house viewings with ease and lined up multiple homes at convenient times to maximize our time. She welcomed our young children and engaged them while we toured homes. Donna helped us find the home of our dreams, even with very limited inventory! In an ultra competitive market, we felt her guidance helped us make the best decisions to reach our desired outcomes. She took time to educate us so that we became informed and strategic buyers. She took the time to listen to our priorities and she found a home for us with everything we valued. After we won a competitive bid, she helped us build an amazing support team. Her years of experience provided connections to some of the best professionals in the area. Her personal approach helped us feel like we were a top priority and we were supported each step of the way. She offered guidance as needed and was extremely responsive to phone calls, emails, and in-person meetings. Her expertise ensured that our home buying experience was seamless. Donna truly exceeded our expectations, even when she came highly recommended. We are so grateful she helped us navigate a complex process with confidence and success.

From start to finish Donna demonstrated knowledge, patience and a thorough understanding of the market. She made what was a very difficult transition for my family, a manageable one. Trusting that your realtor has your best interests was never in question with Donna. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Donna could not have been more supportive during my recent house purchase. Her knowledge of the market and the area were absolutely invaluable for me, who was moving across the country and buying a house for the first time in many, many years. Once the house was purchased she made sure I felt welcome in the community, introduced me to people who could help me and has followed through in her desire to be sure I feel part of the Croton community. This is what realty should be.

Donna was incredible! Her knowledge of the market combined with her professionalism, hard work and compassion made selling my house so much easier. She worked tirelessly for me and the results showed!
Donna Nikic
We had very specific wants and needs, and Donna hung in there through many searches and showings, found exactly what we wanted, and helped us through the negotiations and closing. What more could anyone ask? Well, that you want her as an ongoing friend after, and we do!!!

I can't express how outstanding my experience with Nicole Biello from Compass was. We met by chance and her knowledge, professionalism, and patience was the only reason we were able to find our forever home. I would 100% recommend Nicole to anyone looking right now.
